Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Poltoro is considered to be the 'teddy bear' of the group.  He is chubby and lazy most days, but he is always kind to everyone who passes him.  The village human children love to pet him, and he loves the attention.  He especially likes to play with dragon hatchlings, who like using him as a trampoline, playfully jumping on his back in an attempt to get him to wake up.  Nobody has actually seen him stand up since he was a hatchling, but he does often roll over on his back to allow people to scratch his belly.
